User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; da; rv:1.8.1) Gecko/20061010 Firefox/2.0 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; da; rv:1.8.1) Gecko/20061010 Firefox/2.0 When I shut down my computer without shutting down FF it shows a messagebox with the title "Recreate previous session" (or similar - the text I see is in danish "Genskab tidligere session" when I run FF again(after my pc has restarted). The (nice) feature also recreates hotmail sessions (and passport/live ID authentication?!?) without promptimg for the master password, and I think this is a security issue. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. In FF login in to Hotmail. 2. Restart Windows whitout shutting down your FF session manually. 3. Run FF after restart. 4. Choose to recreate the previous session in the message box that shows. Actual Results: Logged in to hotmail w/o any prompt for the master password. Expected Results: Prompt for the master password when appropriate and give the user the option to always get that prompt so the user can protect his/hers privacy. I haven't tested for other sites than hotmail, net banking etc, so I guess someone more experienced than me should determine the severity of this issue.
